This has come at just the right time.

Does this work for Hindi or other non English languages though?

I wanted to recently transcribe Hindi + English (mixed) Audio and I used this model[0] and created a custom transcribe command which can give text over input of mp4 files

This took me roughly around an hour or more or around this time frame for a 90 minute transcription source. I would consider myself to be slightly bored during this phase.

I would really appreciate it if something like the project could be made native for a lot more languages but I think that the approach of embedding models and using them in such a way is pretty crazy. Kudos for it and I will try it out!

I can think of many such use cases where Speech to text of even large audio files becomes near instant. As I think someone on hackernews once quoted whom I am very paraphrasing

An order of one or two magnitude of an already existing thing stops becoming a quantity upgrade but rather becomes a quality upgrade in it of itself as it provides access to workflows which previously wouldn't have been feasible.

I've been using Whisper with great results; GPU acceleration gets the job done, nothing leaves my box, and the medium model is overkill.

		Yeah I will have to try whisper as well. I didn't try it because I wanted to tinker more and also I had thought that whisper was an older model but I think that if it gets the job, then it gets the job done and I will be trying it out on the text that I mentioned, thanks for mentioning it as I will give it another go :-D

TrueScribe supports tranlating Hindi transcripts in both directions. Not free though.
